Sediment destabilizing and stabilizing bio-engineers on tidal flats: cascading effects of experimental exclusion (2009, background): “Tube-building ploychaetes were found to increase Wne particle content (Bolam and Fernandes 2003; Rabaut et al. 2007 ).”
Ecological implications of the presence of the tube-building polychaete Lanice conchilega on soft-bottom benthic ecosystems (2008, background): “However, the results of the present study, the studies of Rabaut et al. (2008) , Zuhlke et al. (1998) and Callaway (2003a, 2003b, 2006) clearly show that L. conchilega has the potential to aVect the surrounding benthic species.”
Modeling bio-geomorphological influences for offshore sandwaves (2009, background): “5 The tube building worm Lanice conchilega, is known to occur in high densities which have a decelerating effect on the near bottom flow, and thereby cause fine particles to deposit within such patches (Eckman et al., 1981; Rabaut et al., 2007).”
Shift from native mussels to alien oysters: Differential effects of ecosystem engineers (2008, background): “Inmarine soft-sediments this has been described for e.g. lugworms (Volkenborn and Reise, 2006), sand masons (Rabaut et al., 2007), mussels (Ragnarsson and Raffaelli, 1999) and oysters (Lenihan, 1999).”
Benthic community-mediated sediment dynamics (2008, background): “Rabaut et al. (2007) describe a similar phenomenon in aggregations of the tubeworm Lanice conchilega on the Belgian continental margin.”
Marine biodiversity and ecosystem function relationships: The potential for practical monitoring applications (2015, unknown): “…(Jenkins et al.,1999); modi ﬁ cation of boundary conditions, sedimentation and shoreline stabilization (Hull,1987; Boudouresque et al., 2012; Infantes et al., 2012; Jackson et al., 2013) and also providing a physical structure for colonization (Epifanio et al., 2003; Rabaut et al., 2007).”
